Online Mastering and its Benefits

The foremost benefit of online mastering is flexibility. Online mastering allows the mastering studio to work location independent and globally. Time management is another factor to consider. A mastering studio offering online mastering as a full featured service can plan its studio on and off times flexibly and most cost effectively. Online mastering also enables a mastering studio total price freedom and the chance to offer its conventional mastering service to a far greater audience. Custom rates for independent artists is just one example where price freedom allows a mastering studio to target an audience previously out of range.

The customer, no matter if commercial customer or independent artist, gets access to high end professional mastering studios through online mastering services offered by those established mastering facilities. The pricing offered by such mastering studios is flexible and adjusted to meet the customers demands. While a commercial customer is willing to pay more for faster online mastering processing, an independent artist will be happy to invest more time for a top notch music mastering or CD mastering at a lower price point.

Today, there is almost no difference between traditional CD mastering techniques and online mastering services. In the end it is music mastering and the same mastering techniques are being used and the same mastering engineer comes into play using top notch mastering gear. Nevertheless, online mastering provides advantages over traditional CD mastering by the above mentioned aspects.

TRUE PROFESSIONAL MASTERING

Why settle for second best and pay hundreds for a job you almost could have done yourself? There are semi-professional mastering studios on the market offering far from professional quality. Instead get true professional mastering done by a commercial facility at rates not too far from those of budget studios. See below why we are the best choice for pro mastering.

STATE OF THE ART STUDIOS

Our mastering studios feature a combination of selected high-end analog mastering gear, digital outboard processors and high resolution workstations, as well as super-sensitive speaker systems placed in acoustically treated neutral listening environments, which allow us to fully concentrate on the actual music material and perform best at mastering.

HI-END VINTAGE ANALOG GEAR

Vintage analog gear still provides sonic charateristics unmatched in the digital world. To gain this analog warmth for today's digital recordings, the specific sonic characteristics of vintage pieces of gear are used to shape the sound, including such legends as the Neve 33609 and 2254, Pultec EQP-1A and MEQ-5, Chandler TG1, API 2500 and others.

PRECISION DIGITAL PROCESSING

The digital world allows for precise editing and processing and allows for extensively tightening the sound. Although we do not believe in "louder is better", we can bring up the perceived loudness quite a bit, while preserving the natural dynamics using digital outboard processors like the TC M6000 and Waves L2, the Waves L316, MaxxVolume, Massey L2007 and others.

HIGHLY QUALIFIED ENGINEERS

All engineers at SUPREMEMASTERING™ hold a formal university degree in either Recording Arts or Audio Technology. We strongly believe it is essential to actually KNOW what effects specific processing has on the music material, as many problems become apparent and audible only later during or even after the duplication process. Then its too late.

YEARS OF ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Our mastering engineers have worked with the best and learned from the best. Some have worked on projects with well known producers such as Mark Opitz (AC/DC, INXS, KISS) or Jim Bonnefond (Savage Garden, Kool and the Gang, George Benson). Our engineer's experience comes from years in the music industry and constant learning.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMER BASE

At SUPREMEMASTERING™ we have worked with artists from almost all continents, including North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. We are looking forward to meet and work with artists from South America and Africa. Even though each of our engineers has its preferred mastering genre, we are all open to the music genres found across the globe.

ALL-INCLUSIVE MASTERING SERVICE

A unique feature you won't find anywhere else is our all-inclusive mastering approach. We believe it is fantastic having all the choice and not paying extra for each addon as you would at other mastering studios. You choose the format, how to receive the masters and whether to receive multiple formats, no matter if you prefer downloads, a CD or DDP master.

MIX / STEM MASTERING INCLUDED

With the digital age comes the flexibility to mix entire projects in a home studio. As the acoustics and listening environment usually ain't top notch, you will love the idea of having the mastering engineer adjust the mix for you to suit the majority of listing environments. By providing us with stems or bus / submixes we can prepare the final mix for you.

UNLIMITED VERSIONS INCLUDED

Different versions of each song are often required for further music licensing purposes, those versions usually include vocal up/down mixes, tv mix, instrumental and vocal only. Usually each version is being charged extra by most mastering studios. At SUPREMEMASTERING™ unlimited versions of each song are included. We highly encourage you to deliver multiple versions.

UNLIMITED REVISIONS INCLUDED

Even though we ask you to provide details about your preferred mastering style and music references that we can use as guides for mastering, there might be differing opinions about the sound. As it is our ambition to realize your music vision, we will revise each master as we see fit until you are fully satisfied and simply love the result.

RELIABLE SAFE ONLINE MASTERING

Our online mastering service or eMastering service has been designed to meet the demands of our customers. We have put great effort into creating a very easy to use, fast and reliable web interface for you to get from your mix to the final master in three quick and easy steps in almost no time, but with the assurance to receive full quality and support all the way through.

FAST TURNAROUND TIMES

As online mastering allows us to be flexible on scheduling studio on- and offtimes, we are able to process mastering orders usually within 5-7 business days, depending on studio availability, project size and complexity. A priority service is available on request, but involves additional costs. For details and our current turnaround times please check with us.

UNRIVALED VALUE FOR MONEY

Adding up all the above mentioned benefits and the ease of working with us professionally, you will arrive at the conclusion, that the service offered by SUPREMEMASTERING™ is simply put supreme mastering, but at a price point lower than that of other studios at a similar level of quality and support. It is our ambition to best meet your demands for sound and quality.

TEST MASTERING AVAILABLE

Should you be unfamiliar with our reputation or are simply unsure if SUPREMEMASTERING™ can realize your specific music vision, we like to proove us and offer you a test mastering at a special rate. This way you get to know how simple and fast our new online mastering service works and get to hear real life mastering results of your very own piece of music.

Music mastering, CD mastering or pre-mastering, is the final step in the creative production process. During mastering the final two-track (stereo) or multi-track (5.1, 7.1) mix is precisely edited and the frequency content is adjusted for best performance playback on all sorts of sound systems. The sound is being optimized for a variety of final media formats (CDA, SACD, DVDA).

The most popular effect of online mastering is the increase in loudness and change in dynamics of the musical piece. During online mastering the actual sound levels are maximized and the perceived loudness is being increased to a maximum level, making the music stand out and ideal for playback on the majority of playback systems.

Though a simple rule must be kept in mind: "louder ain't better". The ongoing loudness war in pop music destroys any dynamics and natural feel to music, actually decreasing its perceived quality. At SUPREME MASTERING we will not destroy your music, unless you specifically ask us to do so, instead we will bring up the perceived loudness just enough to make it stand out by quality.

At SUPREME MASTERING we work hard to push the quality of music always a bit further, creatively redesigning the online mastering workflow by implementing a variety of techniques appropriate to the specific musical piece and by utilizing some technical secrets of the music mastering world.

At SUPREME MASTERING two worlds unite beautifully. The precision of the digital world, with systems running at highest resolutions and able to process frequency content way beyond human hearing, and the warmth and edge of the analog world, including standard mastering gear and a number of rare vintage mastering classics. The result is a sound as up front, crystal clear, and warm, simply real. Satisfied customers around the globe already swear on this mastering sound. Get this unique and sought-after supreme sound for your music master today.

For your convenience, we now offer online mastering as a full featured online mastering service. Besides our conventional attended studio mastering sessions, you may use our online mastering service to get access to the exact same mastering results with the major difference of full flexibility, no time or location restraints, faster processing and lower costs. Online mastering is probably the most convenient way of getting to your music master fast and easy.

To use the online mastering service at SUPREME MASTERING, simply provide us with your personal details, project details, such as artist, song information and song order, preferred mastering style, such as broadcast ready (radio, TV), dynamic (CD), natural (Live) and with some details of how you would like your master to sound like. As you probably have a clear idea how you want your master to sound like, simply tell us. By providing some music reference details, such as a number of songs or an artist's album that you would like your music to sound similar to, we can work way more effective to achieve the sound you desire for your master. This way we can specifically tune your music to match the sonic characteristics of the sound you love.
